Red Sangria

The first time I had sangria was many years ago on New Year’s Day. A group of friends decided to go to a local tapas restaurant that was running a special brunch that day. We showed up in our pajamas to receive half-off sangrias and a gift card toward a future purchase. It was actually [...]

Sautéed Corn & Edamame

The activities of life had me coming home at a pretty late hour the other day. Rather than succumbing to the temptations of ordering a 99-cent heart attack for dinner, I decided to take my chances with the randomness of ingredients I had at home. I absolutely love opening the fridge and creating a complete [...]

Super Easy Bulgur Wheat & Fresh Herb Salad

I recently realized my slowly expanding waistline was an unfortunate side effect of writing a food blog. Dieting had been proven unsuccessful in the past. Especially for someone like me who is working on a graduate degree in food studies. This would only lead to focusing my attention on becoming more physically active. However, I [...]

Sautéed Swiss Chard

After my dismal first attempt at growing a tray of Swiss Chard for my Sustainable Agriculture class, I’ve been paying much closer attention to the second round of plantings. It’s been fascinating to watch the little sprouts emerge from the nutrient rich soil. They really start to look like miniature versions of the prehistoric-like leaves [...]

Cool Pesto Dipping Sauce with Toasted Pita

I long for the days when I can clip basil in my backyard. Thankfully the ground hog didn’t see his shadow this month. That means my desire for truly fresh herbs will be satisfied in the very near future. Until that time arrives, quality jarred pesto will have to serve as a suitable substitute. I [...]

French Toast with Maple-Apple Compote

I’m a huge fan of a hearty breakfast on the weekends. By the time I wake up though, it’s late enough to be counted as brunch. Sophie woke me up early over the holiday weekend to go outside for private moment in the bushes. The extra time gave me a chance to whip up a [...]

Stovetop Apple Brown Betty

I always love a challenge. So when FoodBuzz sent out an opportunity for its Featured Publishers to participate in a recipe contest, I jumped at the chance. The challenge was to create a unique recipe featuring any type of Nature’s Pride bread. I was thrilled to receive a coupon for a free loaf to try. [...]

Chicken & Dumpling Soup: Simplified

The weather has cooled quite a bit in the Pittsburgh area and my soup cravings have slowly started to return. It’s been awhile since I’ve made the original recipe for chicken and dumplings I posted back in 2008. So I thought I would blow the virtual dust off of this classic old friend and relive [...]

Homemade Baked Potato Chips

I’ve been making baked potato chips for years. But I never considered posting the recipe to CulinaryCory.com because I thought it might be a little too simple for your reading enjoyment. So I decided to ask my Facebook followers what they thought about the idea. Much to my surprise I almost immediately started receiving enthusiastic [...]

Classic Grilled Ham & Cheese Sandwich

I originally wasn’t planning to post this recipe because I thought its simplicity would never interest any of you. However, I realized the simplicity is what makes it interesting. With really good ingredients like fresh baked bread and sharp cheddar cheese, you too can turn a classic grilled ham and cheese sandwich into a masterful [...]
